On January 1, 2020, Sunland SA purchased the following two machines for use in its production process. Machine A: The cash price of this machine
On January 1, 2020, Sunland SA purchased the following two machines for use in its production process.
Machine A: | The cash price of this machine was R$50,000. Related expenditures included: sales tax R$2,600, shipping costs R$100, insurance during shipping R$80, installation and testing costs R$60, and R$150 of oil and lubricants to be used with the machinery during its first year of operations. Sunland estimates that the useful life of the machine is 5 years with a R$6,000 residual value remaining at the end of that time period. Assume that the straight-line method of depreciation is used. | |
Machine B: | The recorded cost of this machine was R$92,800. Sunland estimates that the useful life of the machine is 4 years with a R$4,400 residual value remaining at the end of that time period. |
Prepare the following for Machine A. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually.)
1. | The journal entry to record its purchase on January 1, 2020. | |
2. | The journal entry to record annual depreciation at December 31, 2020. |

Calculate the amount of depreciation expense that Sunland should record for Machine B each year of its useful life under the following assumptions. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 2,125. Round cost per unit to 2 decimal place, e.g. 1.25.)
(1) | Sunland uses the straight-line method of depreciation. | |
(2) | Sunland uses the declining-balance method. The rate used is twice the straight-line rate. | |
(3) | Sunland uses the units-of-activity method and estimates that the useful life of the machine is 135,500 units. Actual usage is as follows: 2020, 57,000 units; 2021, 37,500 units; 2022, 25,500 units; 2023, 15,500 units. |
